FAQ’s
What is the CliftonStrengths assessment?
The CliftonStrengths assessment is a research-based tool developed by Gallup that identifies your top 5 talent themes from 34 possible strengths. It reveals how you naturally think, feel, and behave, helping you understand your unique talents and how to develop them into strengths.
Are you an accredited CliftonStrengths coach?
Yes, I am a Gallup-Certified CliftonStrengths Coach, having completed the rigorous certification process through Gallup. This ensures I have the expertise to properly interpret your results and guide you through meaningful strengths development.
What's the difference between talents and strengths?
Talents are your natural patterns of thinking, feeling, and behaving. Strengths are talents that have been developed through knowledge, skills, and practice. Our coaching helps you transform your natural talents into productive strengths.
How long does the CliftonStrengths assessment take?
The initial assessment typically takes 45 minutes to 1 hour to complete. It consists of 177 paired statements where you choose which statement best describes you, with a 20-second time limit per question to capture your instinctive responses. The assessment is designed to capture your first response – so go with your gut!
What happens after I complete the assessment?
You’ll receive a personalised CliftonStrengths report with your top 34 themes. We’ll then walk through the debrief session where we explore what these themes mean for you, how they show up in your life and work, and create an action plan for development.
Do you offer corporate workshops and team coaching?
Yes, we provide comprehensive corporate workshops for teams, departments, and entire organisations. These sessions focus on team dynamics, improving collaboration, understanding each other’s strengths, and leveraging collective talents for better performance.
What leadership development programs do you offer?
Our leadership development programs combine CliftonStrengths insights with practical leadership skills. We cover topics like strengths-based leadership, leading diverse teams, performance conversations, and developing others through a strengths lens.
Can CliftonStrengths help with career development?
Absolutely. Understanding your strengths helps you identify roles where you’ll naturally excel, make better career choices, and articulate your value proposition to employers. We provide career coaching that aligns your strengths with your professional goals.
How is mentorship different from coaching in your services?
Coaching focuses on unlocking your potential through strengths development and goal achievement. Mentorship involves ongoing guidance and support, sharing experience and wisdom to help you navigate your career and personal development journey over time.
What does "thought leadership" mean in your context?
Our thought leadership services help you identify and develop your unique expertise and voice in your field. We work with you to articulate your insights, build your professional reputation, and establish yourself as a credible authority in your area of expertise.
Do you work with individuals or only groups?
We offer both individual and group services. One-on-one coaching provides personalised attention, while group workshops and team sessions create shared understanding and collaborative growth opportunities.
How many sessions do I typically need?
This varies based on your goals and needs. Individual coaching might range from 3-6 sessions for basic strengths development to ongoing monthly sessions for leadership development. Corporate programs are typically customised based on organisational objectives.
